A Street Hawker (রাস্তার ফেরিওয়ালা)
A street hawker is a person who sells various things by moving from street to street. He is a self-employed person. He is the most familiar figure in the cities and towns. In a village, he is also seen. He wears a peculiar dress of different colours and makes peculiar sound to draw the attention of his customers. His work is tiresome. He carries his materials on head, sometimes in a bag and sometimes in a small handcart. He generally buys his goods at a cheaper rate and sells them at a goed profit. His goods are mainly attractive to the women and children. He usually sells toys, cosmetics, ready-made garments, utensils, sweets, ribbons, fruits etc. Generally in the absence of the housemaster , he comes to sell his goods. He adopts different techniques to convince his customers. He claims that his products are the best in quality. As children are his good customers, he maintains a good comunication with them. However, although a street hawker works hard, he does not earn much. He has a very small capital and earns little. So he maintains his family with a great hardship. We should respect him because he earns his living by the sweat of his brow.
